New online exhibition at Espai Carmen Thyssen

JOSEP AMAT HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH IMPRESSIONISM 

As we want to stay true to the usual way of presenting Carmen Thyssen-Bornemizsa collection, relating Catalan to International painting, this year we propose you Josep Amat’s painting as the main artist that connects with the masters of the French impressionism (Pissarro, Sisley, Guillaumin, Bonnard) and with other artists that have been influenced by these aesthetics (Gauguin, Dufy, Louiseau, Lebasque, Camoin, Potthast). 21 works of art have been selected for this online exhibition. We hope you enjoy it.

Painting remains always open to glances
